Chapter 411

"Your men seem to be quite useless. Isn't it my turn to attack now?" Dust

in yawned lazily.

Lord Horst's countenance grew somber, his expression turning grave. He kn

ew almost every skilled fighter

there was in Millsburg but was coming up blank when it came to Dustin.

Could Dustin be from somewhere else?

"I admire your fighting skills, kid, but I doubt you're

skilled enough to stop a bullet." Lord Horst recovered from his shock and

turned serious. "I've met people like you before, thinking they could ca

use trouble just because

they had some skills. But in the end, all of them got shot to death. In t

his society, skills alone aren't enough. You still need power and family

backgrounds. Would you like to make a bet with me? With just a few words,

I

can send you to prison."

Edmund and the others began worrying for Dustin, who may

be a good fighter but was still no match for Lord

Horst.

Putting the man's family connections aside, the men under his control alo

ne should be more than Dustin can

handle. After all, how could one man possibly win against thousands?

"Humph! So what if you can fight? You're still losing to Lord Horst!" Mik

e spat scornfully, seeming to have forgotten how pitiful

he'd looked earlier.

"You're Lord Horst, right? I suggest

you don't try to provoke me. I'm not worried about the consequences, but

you might not even have the time to regret it if I end up killing you."

"You-

" Lord Horst's face twitched. Although he was adept in situations like th

ese, nothing good would come

out of butting heads with someone as foolhardy as Dustin.

"Alright. Enough with the chitchat. Let Mr. Robinson and the rest go for

now. We'll settle our differences then." Dustin's expression was indiffer

ent, but inside, he was already

plotting their deaths. Should Lord Horst and his men continue to press hi

m, Dustin didn't mind getting rid of them once and for all. After all, he

'd be doing

society a huge favor.

"Fine. I'll let them go this time." Lord Horst thought about it and agree

d.

"What the hell are you guys waiting for?

Scram!" the suited man roared.

"O–

of course! Right away!" Mike hurriedly led the students out of the place.

"What about you?" Abigail

suddenly asked Dustin. She had changed her mind about him after witnessin

g his

unwavering bravery.

"I'll be fine. Go with your father. I'll be fine." Dustin gave her a smal

l smile.

"Mr. Rhys…" Edmund wanted to say something, but Dustin raised his hand to

silence the older man.

"You guys will only distract me. Go home."

Edmund still looked conflicted

but eventually left with his daughter. As Dustin said, they wouldn't be a

ble to help him anyway. Still, Edmund could ask the Harmon family for hel

p. He believed that, with Ruth's support,

Lord Horst wouldn't trouble Dustin too much.

"Hey, kid. Your friends are

all gone. Isn't it time to settle our score?" Lord Horst finally spoke.

"How do you propose we do that? Dustin wore a mask of a smile on his face

.

"You seem to have pretty good moves. Why don't you work for me? I promise

to let this matter go, and you'll live a wealthy life from now on!" Lord

Horst suggested.

"Hmm I thought you were going to see this issue to the end." Dustin was s

urprised.

"I've got nothing against you. There's no need for us to take things so f

ar for something so minor. I've been through this before. All I'm interes

ted in now is money, not excitement." Lord Horst lit himself a cigarette.

"Interesting." Dustin smiled. "To tell you the truth, I was ready to kill

all of you, but I've changed my mind."

Lord Horst froze, startled, and the cigarette in his mouth fell to the fl

oor.

Damn it! Dustin was one of those hotheaded fools!
